Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother， “Only a miracle can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore （药店） with the money in her hand.“And what do you want？” asked the salesman. “Its for my little brother，” the girl answered. “Hes really， really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon？” said the salesman.“My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？” “We dont sell a miracle here， child. Im sorry，” the salesman said with a smile.“Listen， if it isnt enough， I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked， “What kind of a miracle does your brother need？”“I dont know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “Hes really sick and mum says he needs an opera-tion. But my daddy cant pay for it， so I have brought all my money.”“How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11， but I can try and get some more，” she answered.“Well， what luck，” smiled the man. “$ 1.11， the price of a miracle for little brothers.”He took up the girls hand and said， “Take me to where you live.

Andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought( B )A school in Nanjing plans to order Korean-style school uniforms (校服) for students, but parents were against the move, believing that the new uniforms looked too good and would encourage early romances among the students.Parents: “My daughter was so excited about the Korean-style uniform, saying its her dream to wear a miniskirt to school every day,” a mom said. “My daughter also called her classmates to talk about how handsome the boys looked in the uniforms! If the students wear such beautiful uniforms, how can they concentrate on their studies?”School: We had to stop the plan because many parents were strongly against it. Some parents thought it was just a way for the school to make money, and others thought the new uniforms would take students attention away from their studies.Students: The students were very disappointed about the schools final decision. They thought the sportswear uniforms made them look dull. They said the Korean uniforms had many advantages such as raising interest in class and lifting confidence.As for concerns about romance, the students believe that love is love and has no relationship to the uniforms.The Department of Education: The schools can choose their own styles. Either sportswear or other uniforms are OK. Currently, most middle and elementary schools in Nanjing have sportswear uniforms.Expert: Fashionable school uniforms can increase students interest in learning.Parents dont need to worry too much about early romances. Todays primary and middle school students have strong personalities and their appreciation(欣赏) of beauty is rapidly forming. A fashionable uniform can develop their sense of belonging to the school and reduce their resistance(抵抗) to the schools management.But we dont have to follow Korean or Japanese styles. We should design our own Chinese style uniforms.1. Which of the following is NOT the parents reason for being against Korean-style school uniforms?A. The uniforms will encourage early romances.B. It is a way for the school to make money.C. The new uniforms dont wash well. D. The new uniforms will affect the students studies.2. Students think the new uniforms will_. A. make them have good taste in fashion B. make them feel confident C. make them feel proud of their school D. reduce their fear of teachers3. The opinion of the expert is to_.A. forbid the students to wear fashionable uniformsB. encourage the students to wear sportswear uniformsC. design uniforms in a Chinese styleD. wear new uniforms in a foreign style4. We can infer from the passage that_.A. school uniforms are mostly blue or blackB. few students are willing to wear school uniformsC. school uniforms are a waste of moneyD. schools are encouraged to choose their own uniformsCSarah Williams went to a boarding school（寄宿学校）. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.Wentworth Girls SchoolBeachsideJuly 25thDear Mom and Dad,Im afraid I have some very bad news for you.
